Episode notes
INSIGHT

Thinker-Prover Loop Shapes Reality

  • The thinker generates beliefs and the prover seeks evidence to confirm them, creating a self-reinforcing loop.
  • Your perceived reality is often a habitually proven narrative, not objective truth.
INSIGHT

Beliefs As Neural Parasites

  • Your beliefs are parasites that distort perception and become neurologically embedded.
  • Science is practiced by biased people, so method—not assumed objectivity—protects against error.
ADVICE

Experiment To Rewire Beliefs

  • Run experiments to expose how beliefs shape experience, e.g., act different at a party and observe outcomes.
  • Aim to stop believing by accident and treat beliefs as optional, plastic programs.
